Parser was changed:
postgres=# select * from ts_debug('123-4567');
alias | description | token | dictionaries | dictionary | lexemes
-------+------------------+-------+--------------+------------+---------
uint | Unsigned integer | 123 | {simple} | simple | {123}
int | Signed integer | -4567 | {simple} | simple | {-4567}
(2 rows)
postgres=# select * from ts_debug('abc-defj');
alias | description | token | dictionaries
| dictionary | lexemes
-----------------+---------------------------------+----------+----------------+--------------+------------
asciihword | Hyphenated word, all ASCII | abc-defj | {english_stem}
| english_stem | {abc-defj}
hword_asciipart | Hyphenated word part, all ASCII | abc | {english_stem}
| english_stem | {abc}
blank | Space symbols | - | {}
| |
hword_asciipart | Hyphenated word part, all ASCII | defj | {english_stem}
| english_stem | {defj}
Parser in 8.1 threats any [alnum]+-[alnum]+ as a hyphenated word, but 8.3 treats
[digit]+-[digit]+ as two separated numbers.
So, you can play around pre-process texts before indexing or have a look on
regex dictionary (http://vo.astronet.ru/arxiv/dict_regex.html)
